More on Bible Abuse

An unfortunate video of a pastor preaching what I would call a truly "bad" sermon, not for the vulgarity, because LORD knows there is plenty of stuff we consider vulgar in the Bible that could and sometimes should be preached, but instead for the poor study and content.

I have preached recently on Bad BibleQuotes, and then someone came across the video here. Watch with warning that this is just another preacher "pissing into the wind". Comments made here and here.

Omigosh - still laughing. I've been thinking I should write a little book like "The Prayer of Jabez" that takes some little verse out of context and makes a million bucks extrapolating it onto t-shirts and key chains (so we can buy a house). Looks like I've found my verse.

About Me

I am a pastor in the United Methodist Church. I have a beautiful and wonderful wife and child. I grew up in Bishop, California (the Mule Capital of the World - thank you very much!) I attended Emory University and the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa.
